In  the  fall  of  1946  the  largest  Freshman 
class  in  the  history  of  the  school  enrolled  at 
Clarion  State  Teachers  College.  The  post  war 
education  boom  was  at  its  height.  Among  those 
many  students  who  began  their  education  in  col- 
lege at  that  time  were  many  of  the  students  who 
are  now  Seniors. 

In  the  beginning  it  was  all  very  confusing 
to  us,  but  in  a  very  short  time  we  found  that  as  a 
class  we  would  be  guided  through  the  mazes  of 
college  life  by  a  very  able  man,  Dr.  Donald  R. 
Predmore.  After  a  bewildering  beginning,  order 
began  to  sort  itself  from  chaos  and  in  a  surpris- 
ingly short  time — to  us — we  found  that  our  first 
year  of  college  life,  Freshman  Week  and  all,  was 
just  a  memory. 

With  the  summer  gone  the  way  of  all  good 
things,  we  returned  to  Clarion  in  September  of 
1947  to  make  an  amazing  discovery — we  had 
really  missed  Clarion  during  those  long  summer 
months.  It  was  a  nice  feeling  to  be  back 
on  the  familiar  campus  seeing  familiar  faces  and 
exchanging  greetings  with  the  friends  we  had 
made  the  first  year  we  were  here.  As  the  whirl 
of  classes,  studies,  social  events,  and  informal 
gatherings  with  our  friends  sped  past,  we  found 
that  time  was  also  speeding  past  us  and  in  a  few 
short  months  we  were  contemplating  not  Christ- 
mas vacation,  but  summer  vacation  again.  This 
time  it  was  with  some  regret  that  we  departed 
from  the  campus;  in  fact  some  of  us  could  not 
drive  ourselves  away,  so  we  stayed  on  for  sum- 
mer school,  and  incidently  picked  up  enough 
credits  to  make  it  possible  for  us  to  graduate  a 
semester  earlier. 

Our  junior  year  at  Clarion  brought  along 
many  new  things,  among  them  a  new  class 
President,  Clifford  Cook.  Everything  went  along 
very  well,  except  that  "Skip"  Cook  had  consid- 
erable trouble  trying  to  raise  enough  money  to 
pay  for  the  tremendous  expenses  of  the  class, 
which  amounted  to  about  two  dollars  and  forty- 
five  cents. 


The  Christmas  Dance,  which  is  one  of  the 
big  social  events  of  the  school  year,  was  spon- 
sored by  our  class  in  our  junior  year.  It  turned 
out  to  be  one  of  the  finest  ever  held  at  Clarion 
and  was  very  well  attended  by  faculty,  students 
and  alumni.  Later  on  in  the  year,  as  thoughts 
traveled  ahead  into  the  future,  we  began  to 
think  of  our  next  year  here  at  the  school  which 
had  come  to  mean  so  very  much  to  us.  It  was 
with  sorrow  that  we  told  ourselves  that  we  were 
rapidly  drawing  near  the  time  when  it  would 
soon  be  "So  long"  to  all  that  was  familiar  and  a 
faint  "Hello"  to  a  strange  new  world — a  world 
into  which  we  would  be  thrust  with  a  diploma 
in  one  hand  and  a  certificate  saying  we  were 
teachers  in  the  other. 

September,  1949.  At  last  the  much  vaunted 
senior  year  in  college  was  upon  us.  Registra- 
tion day  found  us  enrolling  for  student  teaching 
with  definite  foreboding.  However,  in  a  few 
short  days  we  were  before  classes,  teaching  the 
students  the  things  which  had  been  so  pain- 
stakingly implanted  within  us  by  our  own  teach- 
ers of  the  past,  from  the  first  grade  up  through 
our  college  career.  Little  by  little  our  fears  were 
allayed  and  in  a  short  time  we  began  to  feel  at 
home  in  the  classroom,  yes,  even  to  enjoy  being 
before  the  class. 

May,  1950.  Here,  now,  is  the  month  in 
which  many  of  us  say  farewell  to  our  under- 
graduate days,  and  what  is  even  more  signifi- 
cant and  sorrowful  to  us,  to  Clarion  State  Teach- 
ers College.  Yes,  we  shall  be  back  to  visit,  often, 
too,  but  never  again  shall  we  have  the  feeling 
of  belonging,  which  has  been  so  much  a  part  of 
us  since  first  we  came  to  realize  how  friendly  a 
place  the  campus  of  C.  S.  T.  C.  is.  It  has  been 
our  home  for  four  short  years,  now  we  go  to 
seek  a  new  home,  and  we  hope  it  will  be  half 
as  pleasant  and  hospitable  as  Clarion  State 
Teachers  has  been.

ass 


Historians  are  saying  that  we  have  lived  through  the  most  momentous  period 
of  history  in  the  last  five  years.  Changes  have  occurred  in  the  world  which  were 
more  important  than  the  fall  of  ancient  empires,  and  these  historic  cataclysms 
were  generally  hundreds,  and  even  thousands,  of  years  apart.  We  have  wit- 
nessed the  fall  of  three  empires  and  the  decline  of  two  others.  The  center  of 
world  affairs  has  changed  from  the  Atlantic  to  the  Pacific,  and  America  has 
emerged  as  the  leading  nation  of  the  world.  We  now  know  how  the  Romans, 
Greeks,  and  Egyptians  felt  when  they  were  passing  through  the  great  changes 
of  history.  Come  back  in  a  few  years  and  let's  talk  over  other  changes  in  history 
that  have  taken  place.  I  wish  I  could  be  with  you  at  your  fiftieth  reunion,  2000 
A.  D.,  to  hear  what  you  would  say. 

To  get  to  more  immediate  things,  I  wish  to  advise  every  member  of  the 
class  to  follow  all  of  the  leads  that  he  may  get  for  jobs,  especially  the  social 
studies  and  geography  majors.  Wherever  you  can  help  some  other  person  be 
sure  and  do  it.  Clarion  graduates  are  recognized  as  being  well  prepared.  You 
should  feel  confident  in  helping  each  other.

We  entered  Clarion  in  the  fall  of  1947  as  a 
very  enthusiastic  group  of  freshmen.  Scattered 
among  the  class  were  a  few  of  the  veterans  of 
the  last  war,  who  did  not  share  our  enthusiasm. 
The  youngsters  in  the  group  were  ready  to  set 
the  world  on  fire,  but  these  grizzled  "vets"  felt 
certain  that  this  was  impossible — the  world  had 
already  burned.  Nevertheless,  they  worked  har- 
moniously under  the  very  capable,  guiding  hand 
of  Mr.  Hartman.  The  class  was  soon  organized 
and  as  president,  a  Penn  State  freshman  was 
chosen.  Really,  nothing  of  importance  took 
place  in  this  freshman  year,  except  that  we 
became  acclimated  to  the  customs  and  conven- 
tions of  college  life. 

The  following  September — 1948 — we  were 
no  longer  freshmen.  By  some  quirk  of  fate  we 
had  passed  all  prescribed  courses,  and  presto! 
now  we  were  upperclassmen.  Although  we  lost 
a  great  many  of  our  freshman  to  Penn  State,  we 
weathered  the  loss  in  great  style.  Remembering 
our  bewilderment  as  freshmen,  we  as  a  class, 
wished  to  help  the  1948  newcomers  avoid  some 
of  the  confusion  and  conflicts  that  we  had  en- 
countered in  1947.  Early  in  the  term  a  "Get 
Acquainted  Dance"  was  sponsored  by  our  class. 


Thanks  to  the  concerted  efforts  of  Lila  Brown, 
Jennifer  Messier,  and  Paul  Taylor,  the  affair  was 
a  huge  success.  At  one  of  the  first  meetings  of 
the  class,  John  Januzzi  was  elected  president  and 
director  of  our  fate,  and  under  his  friendly  guid- 
ance, our  second  year  ended   successfully. 

Come  September  1949,  another  hurtle  has 
been  passed,  and  we  have  now  attained  the 
coveted  status  of  juniors.  The  vets  have  lost 
some  of  their  skepticism,  gathered  in  some  of  the 
eagerness  of  youth,  and  we're  running  a  smooth 
course.  Mr.  Hartman  is  still  our  guiding  light 
and  John  Januzzi  still  our  president.  (Third 
term,  John?)  John  has  done  a  fine  job  and  is 
to  be  commended  for  his  untiring  efforts.  At 
our  first  meeting  we  were  asked  to  have  three 
members  report  for  work  on  the  Sequelle,  to 
learn  the  techniques  and  facilitate  organization 
for  next  year.  The  big  highlight  of  the  first 
semester  has  been  another  "Get  Acquainted 
Dance"  following  the  football  game  with  Chey- 
ney  State. 

If  the  senior  year  of  this  class  is  as  profitable 
as  the  first  three  years,  truly  the  time  spent  at 
Clarion  will  have  been  "the  best  years  of  our 
lives".

The  Class  of  1952  arrived  in  Clarion  in  Sep- 
tember of  '48  with  dreams  of  college  life  in  their 
hearts  and  with  the  anticipation  of  happy  future 
days.  The  class  as  freshman,  under  the  capable 
guidance  of  Dr.  Clark  Gill,  successfully  completed 
a  happy  year,  orienting  themselves  to  life  on 
the  campus  and  becoming  an  integral  part  of 
all  college  activities. 

Adjustments  had  to  be  made  to  dormitory 
life,  roommates,  new  friends,  and  professors. 
Concerning  the  latter,  many  incidents,  humorous 
and  otherwise,  are  brought  to  mind. 

And  so  it  was  that  the  Class  of  '52  returned 
to  Clarion  last  fall  with  that  "we  know  our  way 
around"  look  in  their  faces  and  a  confident  "I 
will  not  be  discouraged"  spring  in  their  step. 

The  first  serious  business  of  the  year  was 
the  election  of  class  officers.  Returns  from  the 
ballots  made  Robert  Osterholm,  president;  Ray 
Predebon,  vice  president;  Ann  Marie  Brady,  sec- 
retary; and  Marjorie  Dible,  treasurer.  Patricia 
Skinner  was  elected  to  represent  the  sophomores 


in  the  newly  formed  social  committee.  On  De- 
cember 17  the  class  sponsored  the  annual  Holly 
Hop,  a  semiformal  Christmas  Dance,  which 
proved  to  be  one  of  the  big  successes  of  the  year. 

The  sophomore  class  is  equally  proud  of  the 
musical  talent  displayed  by  Michael  Helmintoller 
and  its  singing  nightingale,  Katherine  Adams. 
The  class  has  also  contributed  its  share  of  mem- 
bers to  the  chorus  and  band.  Outstanding  in 
the  field  of  dramatics  is  Patricia  Schultz  whose 
humorous  monologues  have  sent  audiences  roll- 
ing in  the  aisles.  Where  ready  wit  and  original 
humor  are  concerned  the  names  of  Paul  Mochnick 
and  Mary  Knowlton  will  long  be  remembered. 

Members  of  the  class  have  shown  active  par- 
ticipation in  college  sports  and  clubs.  It  may  be 
noted  that  many  of  the  sophomores  are  enrolled 
in  either  the  Student  Christian  Association  or  the 
Newman  Club.  This  is  but  one  indication  of  their 
efforts  to  develop  the  entire  personality. 

The  sophomores  are  proving  themselves  ca- 
pable of  accepting  the  role  of  future  teachers  of 
America,  and  it  is  with  happy  anticipation  that 
they  await  their  junior  year.

On  September  11,  1949,  a  confused  group 
of  three  hundred  eight  freshman  arrived  at 
Clarion  State  Teachers  College.  Of  this  group 
two  hundred  eighteen  expect  to  finish  their  edu- 
cation at  Clarion,  and  ninety  are  planning  to 
attend  Penn  State  next  year.  There  are  also 
twenty  second  semester  freshman.  For  most  of 
us  this  experience  of  entering  college  was  like 
coming  into  a  new  world.  We  had  just  gradu- 
ated from  high  school  where  we  had  been  upper- 
classmen;  now  we  were  starting  again  as  timid, 
bewildered  freshmen. 

The  first  week  was  the  most  baffling.  On 
Tuesday,  September  13,  1949,  we  registered. 
Then  came  freshman  examinations.  After  our 
final  day  of  examinations,  we  were  given  a  re- 
ception by  the  Chandlers  and  the  faculty  at  Dr. 
Chandler's  residence.  Because  of  the  warm  hos- 
pitality shown  us  by  the  upperclassmen  and  the 
friendliness  shown  by  everyone,  we  lost  our  ner- 
vous tension  and  settled  down  to  normal  campus 
life. 

The  Freshman  Class  was  well  represented 
on  the  gridiron.  Out  of  seven  cheerleaders,  four 
of  them  were  freshman.  Again  our  equlibrium 
was  disturbed,  amazingly  enough,  by  the  ob- 
servance of  Freshman  Week.  Unwittingly,  we 
were  thrust  into  the  foreground   of  campus    life 


by  our  enforced  mode  of  behavior  and  by  our 
imposed  style  of  dress.  Purple  and  gold  dink 
caps  dotted  the  campus  and  huge  cardboard 
signs  flapped  in  the  breeze  as  freshman  ran  here 
and  there.  All  "good  things"  must  come  to  an 
end,  sometimes  a  good  end,  and  thus  Freshman 
Week  ended  with  an  enjoyable,  traditional 
Freshman  Sing. 

As  the  year  progressed,  the  class  was 
organized  under  the  excellent  guidance  of  Mr. 
Lewis,  our  class  advisor.  For  two  weeks  the  Fresh- 
man Class  dominated  the  campus  with  vigorous 
campaigning  which  resulted  in  the  election  of 
our  present  officers. 

Our  campus  life,  to  date,  has  included  our 
first  tests,  comments,  Homecoming,  Thanksgiving 
dinner,  Christmas  dinner,  and  the  long  awaited 
Christmas  Dance. 

As  the  semester  is  rapidly  drawing  to  a 
close,  we  are  contemplating  which  fraternities 
and  sororities  we  should  like  to  join.  Through 
these  we  hope  to  obtain  the  fellowship  to  which 
we  have  been  looking  forward  in  college  life. 
We  now  realize  the  good  times  ahead  of  us  and 
are  eagerly  looking  forward  to  our  future  years 
at  Clarion.

The  cheering  section  at  Clarion  State  Teachers  College  is  led  by  seven  capable 
and  charming  young  ladies.  Their  enthusiastic  shouts  of  encouragement  have 
spurred  many  of  our  college  teams  on  to  victory.  Motivating  and  enlivening  the 
student  cheering  at  sports  events  has  become  the  pleasant  duty  of  these  lively 
co-eds. 


Three  of  the  pretty  misses  are  upper  classmen:  Lila  Brown,  a  junior  from 
McKeesport,  Jone  Willson,  a  junior  from  Smethport,  and  Lena  Staley,  a  sopho- 
more from  Clarion.  The  remaining  four  are  from  the  freshmen  class.  They  are 
Ann  Bastress,  from  Clarion;  Ellen  Blissell,  from  Butler;  Helen  Gongaware,  from 
Jeanette;  and  Glenna  Rose,  from  Penn  Township. 

At  the  end  of  her  first  year  of  service,  a  cheerleader  is  awarded  a  Clarion 
"C",  and  when  she  completes  her  second  year  she  receives  a  gold  sweater. 

All  cheerleaders  are  under  the  efficient  sponsorship  of  Miss  Spaller,  the 
director  of  women's  athletics  at  Clarion.

Spring  came  bringing  with  it  rain  and  mud,  the  chief  enemies  of  the  most 
popular  of  sports,  baseball.  Coach  Robert  Moore  held  battery  practice  in  the 
gym,  but  fielding  practice  was  delayed  because  of  the  sea  of  mud. 

The  winning  pitchers  were  John  Busch  and  Andy  Yakim  with  fine  relief  roles 
turned  in  by  Wayne  Mader  and  Merle  Sheffer.  Frank  Lignelli  led  the  batting 
with  an  average  of  .462,  followed  by  Juban,  Malacarne,  Kelley,  Lesser,  and 
Curr,  all  having  averaged  over  .300.  Mason  held  down  the  backstop  position 
while  Kelley,  Lesser,  and  Zeleznock  did  an  excellent  job  of  fielding.

Coached  by  Thomas  Carnahan  and  sparked  by  such  stars  as  Chuck  Biddle 
and  Jim  McKinley,  the  1949  tennis  team  turned  in  one  of  the  best  records  ever 
compiled  by  the  wearers  of  the  blue  and  gold.  The  team,  composed  of  six  seniors 
and  one  junior,  ran  roughshod  over  all  opposition,  including  two  victories  over 
Grove  City,  the  first  in  the  history  of  our  school.  The  team  points  with  pride  to 
the  individual  records  of  Chuck  Biddle,  who  went  undefeated  in  singles  and  then 
teamed  with  Jim  McKinley  to  win  all  their  doubles;  of  Craig  Himes  and  Bob 
Morrison,  who  went  undefeated  in  doubles  for  the  second  consecutive  year;  of 
John  DeLong,  who  has  lost  only  three  matches  in  two  years  of  varsity  play;  and 
of  Kenneth  McMillen  and  John  Banjak,  who  were  inexperienced  but  determined. 

Thanks  to  the  Varsity  C  Club  and  the  Student  Senate,  the  team  was  rewarded, 
for  their  fine  work,  with  jackets.

On  September  6,  Coach  Robert  Moore  called 
his  Golden  Eagles  back  to  the  campus  to  begin 
grooming  their  feathers  for  the  opener  of  the 
1949  season  with  Cheyney  State  Teachers  Col- 
lege. While  the  lettermen  and  rookies  competed 
for  berths,  expectations  among  the  student  body 
ran  high,  but  little  did  any  of  them  realize  that 
ahead  of  them  lay  one  of  the  most  exciting  and 
successful  seasons  for  a  Clarion  gridiron  squad. 

Cheyney  journeyed  to  Clarion  and  were  sent 
back  to  Philadelphia  licking  their  wounds  on  the 
short  end  of  a  41  to  0  score.  The  Blue  and  Gold 
then  successfully  invaded  Edinboro  to  the  tune 
of  33  to  0,  and  the  next  week  repulsed  a  like 
invasion  by  Rio  Grande  with  a  thumping  47  to 
0  victory.  On  October  15  the  gridders  from 
Clarion  traveled  to  Greenville  where,  after  a 
hard  fought  game,  they  triumphed  over  Thiel  by 
a  score  of  21  to  0  to  continue  their  unbeaten, 
untied,  and  unscored  upon  season. 

The  scene  of  the  next  encounter  was  at  Cali- 
fornia, Pennsylvania,  where  the  Blue  and  Gold 
tried  in  vain  to  spoil  the  Vulcans'  Homecoming. 
The  Red  and  White,  with  their  heavier  line  and 
strong  running  attack,  wore  the  Eagles  down  and 
won  the  decision  20  to  14,  spoiling  Clarion's  un- 


blemished record.  The  Eagles  bounced  right  back, 
however,  to  gain  their  fifth  victory  over  Indiana 
by  a  score  of  1  9  to  1  3  to  make  hysterical  the  larg- 
est Homecoming  crowd  in  the  history  of  Clarion. 
On  November  5  the  Blue  and  Gold  journeyed  to 
Cambridge  Springs  where  they  outfought  the 
tough  Alliance  squad  to  win  a  7  to  0  victory.  The 
final  game  of  the  season,  played  at  Clarion  with 
the  Rockets  of  Slippery  Rock,  was  a  hard-fought, 
drag-out  battle.  The  Eagles  appeared  nervous, 
however,  and  fumbled;  fumbles  lead  to  touch- 
downs and  Slippery  Rock  won  1  4  to  7. 

The  following  is  a  brief  sketch  of  the  twelve 
seniors  who  contributed  heavily  to  the  Eagles' 
winning  season  and  played  their  last  game  for 
Clarion  on  Armistice  Day,   1949. 

Ed  Blockowicz — "Block" — a  native  of  Bridge-

tended South  Fayette  with  "Block",  21  years  old, 
5  feet  10  inches  tall,  weighs  175  pounds,  plays 
guard  on  offense,   is  also  a   varsity   wrestler. 

Frank  Lignelli — "Boats" — comes  from  Mo- 
nongahela  City,  was  captain  of  the  1949  Eagle 
squad,  defensive  center,  23  years  old,  5  feet 
11  inches  tall,  weighs  180  pounds,  one  of  the 
few  three  lettermen  on  the  campus,  an  outstand-

Norge  Luvison — resides  in  Youngsville,  23 
years  old,  5  feet  10  inches  tall,  weighs  185

one  of  the  team's  smallest  members,  has  plenty

ping the  scales  at  220,  plays  tackle,  also  a  mem- 
ber of  the  college   baseball   team. 

The  Blue  and  Gold  football  team  of  1949 
was  a  fast,  smooth  team.  Their  razzle  dazzle 
play  plus  such  incidents  as  Ken  Bailey's  96  yard 
run  against  Edinboro,  the  chatter  and  line  play 
of  Mike  Caruso,  the  line  plunges  of  Glenn  Sten- 
net,  the  passing  of  Dave  Bevevino,  and  the 
broken-field  running  of  Bill  Walls  made  the 
Eagles  an  exciting  team  to  watch.  The  season 
shows  a  record  of  six  victories  against  two  de- 
feats with  Clarion  scoring  189  points  to  the  oppo- 
nent's 49.

Frank  Lignelli,  outstanding  athlete  and 
student  of  Clarion  State  Teachers  College,  has 
brought  recognition  to  our  school  by  his  bril- 
liant playing  and  his  fine  sportsmanship  on 
the  gridiron. 

Selected  as  a  member  of  the  All-State 
Teachers  College  eleven,  third  team  All-State, 
first  team  All-Tri  State  Class  B  Colleges,  and 
first  team  All-State  small  colleges,  Frank  has 
received  more  honors  than  any  other  wearer 
of  the  Blue  and  Gold.  Because  of  his  fine 
sportsmanship  and  capable  leadership,  "Ligg" 

has  honored  his  school  still  further  by  being  chosen  as  the  second  most  valuable 

player  in  Pennsylvania's  small  colleges. 

Frank  has  also  proved  his  versatility  by  being  the  first  student  in  the  history 
of  the  school  to  win  twelve  letters  in  major  varsity  sports;  four  each  in  football, 
wrestling,  and  baseball.  As  a  wrestler  "Ligg"  was  Student  Coach  during  the  season 
of  1947-48  and  was  runner-up  in  the  State  Wrestling  Tournament  in  '48  and  '49. 
On  the  diamond  he  has  proved  himself  to  be  an  adept  infielder  and  a  power  at 
the  plate,  leading  the  team  during  the  '49  season  with  a  batting  average  of  .462. 

Off  the  field  as  on,  Frank  is  a  hard  worker  and  a  fine  gentleman.  An  ex- 
cellent student,  a  member  of  the  Student  Senate  and  Alpha  Gamma  Phi  Fraternity, 
he  contributes  to  the  social  and  intellectual  life  of  the  college  in  the  same  unselfish 
spirit  which  has  made  him  the  superior  sportsman  and  capable  leader  that  he  is 
today.

The  nineteen  forty-nine  and  fifty  basketball  season  at  Clarion  proved  to  be 
a  ser.es  of  disappointments.  A  new  State  Teachers  College  ruling  sent 
several  of  the  most  promising  players  to  the  ineligible  list;  then  in- 
unes  took  their  toll  and  weakened  the  team  still  further.  These  things  along  with 
he  teams  inconsistency  resulted  in  an  unimpressive  record  of  5  wins  and  12 
losses. 

The  State  Teachers  College  ruling  that  a  transfer  student  must  have  a  year 
of  residency  at  a  school  before  he  may  participate  in  a  varsity  sport  proved  a 
hard  blow  to  the  Eagles.  Amos  Bartolli,  Robert  Kelly,  John  Wieberg,  and  Joe 
Wmkleman  were  affected  by  this  ruling,  but  to  compensate  they  played  Junior 
Varsity  ball  and  were  responsible  for  the  J.  V.'s  record  of  10  wins  aaainst  2 
defeats. 

The  blue  and  gold  showed  championship  form  in  winning  over  Gannon 
Grove  City,  Indiana,  and  Alliance,  but  during  the  rest  of  the  season  they  just 
couldn't  seem  to  click.  The  illness  of  Russell  Whitford  and  the  injury  of  George 
Derk  and  John  Buck   may  have  accounted  for  some  of  the  team's  inconsistency 

Against  all  these  odds  the  team  showed  a  quality  of  sportsmanship  and  will 
to  win  that  deserves  the  highest  praise.  Each  player  gave  his  best  no  matter 
what  the  score  and  proved  himself  worthy  of  wearing  the  blue  and  qold  of 
Clarion. 

The  nineteen  forty-nine  and  fifty  Eagle  basketball  squad  had  several  seniors 
playing  their  last  year  for  Clarion.  They  are  as  follows;  George  Derk  who  hails 
from  North  side  Pittsburgh,  William  Casper  from  Homestead,  James  McCready 
and  Russel  Whitford  who  reside  in  Bradford.

The  Varsity  "C"  Club  is  an  organization  on  the  campus  consisting  of  athletes 
who  are  being  honored  for  their  good  sportsmanship  and  their  participation  in  the 
field  of  sports.  The  purpose  of  this  organization  is  to  help  and  to  promote  inter- 
collegiate athletics  in  the  college. 

To  gain  membership  in  the  Varsity  "C"  Club,  a  person  must  earn  a  letter  in 
any  of  the  varsity  sports:  football,  basketball,  tennis,  or  baseball,  at  Clarion. 
Its  membership  has  increased  over  the  past  years,  and  it  is  now  looking  forward 
to  keeping   the  organization  growing   each  year. 

Special  awards  to  seniors,  three-year  men,  and  two-year  men  are  being 
purchased  with  the  money  made  from  the  sales  of  refreshments  at  various 
games  held  on  the  campus.  The  students'  cooperation  in  buying  these  refresh- 
ments from  "C-men"  has  contributed  toward  the  buying  of  these  awards.  The 
Varsity  "C"  wishes  to  extend  its  thanks  to  the  students  of  Clarion  in  helping  the 
club  in  every  manner.

In  cooperation  with  the  Department  of  Hygiene  and  Physical  Education,  the 
Women's  Athletic  Association  endeavors  to  awaken  in  the  entire  student  body 
an  interest  in  athletics  and  recreational  activities  and  to  inspire  in  every  member 
the  ideals  of  good  sportsmanship. 

Prominent  among  the  activities  of  the  year  were  a  wonderful  week  end  at 
Cook  Forest,  several  bowling  parties,  a  notable  intramural  program  which  in- 
cluded the  participation  of  over  one  hundred  women,  and  a  training  program 
for  girls  who  are  interested  in  working  with  a  sports  program  in  the  teaching 
field. 

In  addition  to  the  required  sixty-five  eligibility  points  earned  through  par- 
ticipation in  intramural  sports,  a  prospective  member  must  have  attained  an 
average  of  "C"  in  academic  work.  The  recent  acceptance  of  Mary  Lou  Dover- 
spike,  Florence  Creighton,  Martha  Glover,  Lila  Brown,  Donna  Cribbs,  Marjorie 
Eberle,  Dolores  Hutter,  Joan  Johnston,  Sally  Knight,  and  Gail  Wagner  has  greatly 
boosted  the  present  membership. 

On  the  completion  of  her  first  year  of  membership,  each  girl  is  awarded  a 
letter,  and  when  she  has  finished  two  years  of  service  she  receives  a  bracelet.

Although  Clarion  did  not  support  a  wrestling  team  this  year,  two  of  the 
students  did  represent  the  school  at  the  state  wrestling  tournament  at  Lock  Haven. 
Because  there  was  no  Clarion  team  this  year,  our  fellows  had  little  opportunity 
to  gain  experience  through  daily  practice,  consequently  they  lost  out  in  the  firs' 
round.  The  two  students  who  attended  the  tournament  were  Frank  Lignelli, 
Clarion's  fooball  star  who  received  honorable  mention  on  the  Little  All-American 
football  team,  and  Frank  Pecora,  a  varsity  wrestler  of  former  years. 


With  the  dropping  of  wrestling  as  a  varsity  sport  the  students  at  Clarion 
lost  several  exciting  evenings  of  fine  enjoyment.  We  are  looking  forward  to  the 
time  when  this  sport,  which  allows  men  regardless  of  size  to  participate  on  a  var- 
sity team,  will   be  returned   to  the  varsity  sports  schedule  of  Clarion.

Apparently  today  the  main  emphasis  in  education  is  being  placed  on  the 
social  aspects  of  life.  The  Art  Club  encourages  its  members  to  broaden  their  out- 
look on  life,  to  develop  their  appreciation  of  the  fine  and  minor  arts,  and  to  learn 
to  live  and  work  together  graciously. 

An  enjoyable  event  this  year  was  the  trip  to  Youngstown,  Ohio,  to  visit  the 
Butler  Art  Institute.  By  the  way  of  contributing  to  campus  life,  the  club  continued 
its  practice  of  distributing  Co-Op  pictures  and  selling  Christmas  cards.  At  a 
charming  Christmas  party  held  in  December,  the  club  sang  carols,  exchanged 
gifts,  and  enjoyed  a  program  of  unique  numbers. 

For  its  regularly  scheduled  club  meetings  the  members  plan  seasonal  activi- 
ties. At  Christmas  time  they  made  yarn  Santa  coat  lapel  ornaments,  and  for 
the  spring  term,  they  expect  to  make  and  design  aluminum  trays.

The  Association  of  Childhood  Education  is  an  organization  which  was 
founded  principally  for  those  students  who  are  interested  in  elementary  educa- 
tion. The  chief  purposes  of  this  association  include  the  gathering  and  dissemi- 
nating of  knowledge  relative  to  the  education  of  young  children,  the  promoting 
and  sponsoring  of  a  progressive  type  of  education  in  kindergarten  and  the  pri- 
mary grades,  and  the  raising  of  the  standard  of  professional  training  for  teachers 
in  this  field. 

Eligibility  for  membership  is  open  to  all  teachers  of  kindergarten  and  the 
primary  grades  and  to  all  administrators  and  students  interested  in  the  many 
problems  of  early  childhood  education. 

At  the  monthly  meeting,  topics  concerning  elementary  education  are  dis- 
cussed, and  workshops  in  music,  art,  literature,  and  recreational  games  are 
conducted. 

In  December  the  Mother's  Club  secured  a  representative  from  the  Holgate 
Toy  Company  of  Kane  who  spoke  to  the  club  on  the  values  of  educational  toys 
for  young  children.

Numbered  among  the  most  active  organizations  on  the  campus  is  the  college 
band.  This  musical  organization  takes  pride  in  the  school  spirit,  pep  and  en- 
thusiasm shown  by  its  members  at  football  games,  at  pep  meetings,  and  at  our 
weekly  assemblies.  Once  each  year  the  band  participates  in  a  college  chapel 
program  which  is  presented  by  the  combined  efforts  of  the  musical  clubs  on  the 
campus.     One  favorite  number  of  the  program  is  "The  Teddy  Bears'  Picnic." 

At  Christmas  time  the  band  developed  a  program  in  which  instrumental 
and  vocal  numbers  were  featured.  Their  repertoire  included  Christmas  carols 
group  singing,  and  special  numbers  sung  by  a  group  of  vocalists.  This  experi- 
mental type  of  entertainment  was  favorably  received   by  the  student  body. 

Each  year  the  band  presents  several  assembly  concerts  at  many  nearby 
high  schools.  This  year's  program  offered  a  wide  selection  of  numbers  featuring 
the  numerous  instruments  of  the  band. 


The  present  increased  size  of  the  band  and  its  enlarged  scope  of  activities 
demonstrate  its  appeal  to  students  and  predict,  no  doubt,  its  potentialities  for 
future   growth.

Clarion's  A  Capella  Choir,  under  the  talented  and  efficient  direction  of  Mr. 
Walter  Hart,  is  the  major  choral  organization  on  the  campus.  This  year  the 
choir  got  off  to  a  flying  start  with  its  participation  in  the  assembly  program  pre- 
sented in  chapel  by  the  combined  musical  groups  of  the  college. 

Each  year  the  choir  holds  a  series  of  spring  concerts  in  churches  and  high 
schools  in  our  Western  Pennsylvania  service  area.  This  year  the  concert  tour 
included  a  two-day  visit  to  Monaco  and  surrounding  communities  where  a  num- 
ber of  programs  were  presented.  Katherine  Adams'  soprano  solos  were  a  de- 
lightful feature  of  each  program. 

Each  year  at  the  Christmas  season  the  choir  takes  an  important  part  in  the 
presentation  of  Handel's  "Messiah",  an  evening  program  held  in  the  college 
chapel. 

Membership  in  the  A  Capella  Choir  is  limited  to  students  who  are  interested 
in  choral  work  and  who  wish  to  continue  their  musical  training  while  attending 
college.  Members  are  given  meritorious  awards  of  sweaters  and  letters  at  the 
end  of  two  years  of  active  participation.

Octet 


Every  year  Mr.  Hart  chooses  from  the  A 
Cappella  Choir  a  group  of  students  who  have 
proved  themselves  capable  of  belonging  to  our 
ensemble.  These  students  have  been  chosen  for 
their  ability  and  musical  achievements.  This 
year's  group  consists  of  Florence  Creighton,  a 
senior  from  East  Liberty  who  completes  her  last 
of  three  years  with  the  group;  Katherine  Adams, 
a  sophomore  from  Knox,  two  years;  Nancy  McEI- 
hattan, a  sophomore  from  St.  Petersburg;  two 
years;  Patricia  Carr,  a  junior  from  Brookville,  one 
year;  Evelyn  Dunham,  a  freshman  from  Pleasant- 
ville,  one  year;  and  Michael  Helmintoller,  a 
sophomore  from  Clarion,  one  year. 


The  male  octet  is  a  new  organization  on 
campus.  It  is  directed  by  Mr.  Walter  Hart  who 
has  had  a  great  deal  of  experience  with  this 
type  of  work.  Having  already  made  several 
appearances,  it  is  also  planning  a  series  of  high 
school  assembly  programs  along  with  the  en- 
semble. 

The  following  persons  comprise  this  organi- 
zation: 

First  tenor — Duane  Mills,  Merle  Sheffer 
Second  tenor — Charles  Krepps,  Ned  Salerno 
First    bass — Michael     Helmintoller,    Michael

The  Men's  Glee  Club  was  first  founded  in  February,  1949,  under  the  talented 
direction  of  Mr.  Stanley  Lore.  Its  purpose  is  to  provide  an  outlet  for  the  energies 
of  young  men  who  enjoy  good   music. 

In  October  of  this  year  Mr.  Lore  reorganized  the  Glee  Club  and  has  arranged, 
with  the  help  of  Mr.  Hart  of  the  music  department,  to  conduct  a  musical  program 
for  one  of  the  regular  chapel  periods.  In  addition,  it  hopes  to  give  several  musical 
entertainments  in  nearby  communities.  A  more  extensive  program  is  being 
planned  for  the  immediate  future. 

This  is  the  only  musical  organization  on  the  campus  composed  entirely  of 
men.  The  crooning  of  Michael  Petruska,  novelty  numbers  of  Paul  Rossman  and 
Wells  Stockwell,  plus  the  harmonizing  of  the  entire  group  make  not  only  enjoyable 
but  also  very  worthwhile  entertainment. 

Mr.  Lore  and  the  present  members  of  the  Glee  Club  extend  invitations  for 
membership  to  all  men  on  Clarion's  campus  who  enjoy  singing.

The  Women's  House  Council  is  the  governing  body  of  Becht  Hall.  Its  mem- 
bership is  composed  of  three  seniors,  two  juniors,  and  two  sophomores,  elected 
each  spring  to  serve  for  the  following  year.  Two  freshman  members  are  added 
in   the  fall. 

Meetings  are  held  on  Wednesday  evenings  in  the  Becht  Social  room  as  often 
as  seem  necessary  to  carry  on  the  business  of  the  house.  Among  the  duties  of 
the  council  and  its  individual  members  are  the  selection  of  fire  wardens,  hall  proc- 
uring at  all  times,  and  proposals  of  any  suggestions  for  the  improvement  of  dor- 
mitory conditions  and  student  relationships. 

Recently,  members  of  the  Women's  House  Council  examined  reports  on 
living  conditions  in  the  dormitories  of  other  Teachers  Colleges  in  Pennsylvania 
and  by  comparison  they  found  that  living  conditions  in  Becht  and  Seminary  Halls 
are  very  desirable.  With  the  continued  cooperation  of  Becht  and  Seminary 
women,  dorimtory  life  at  our  college  should  improve  steadily  from  year  to  year.

Any  student  interested  in  photography  is  welcome  to  join  the  Camera  Club. 
Members  of  this  club,  both  the  skilled  and  the  amateur,  find  opportunities  to  con- 
tinue and  improve  their  hobbies  while  attending  college. 

An  amply  furnished  darkroom  for  developing  and  printing  pictures  and  a 
Speed  Graphic  press  camera  for  taking  pictures  of  social  and  sports  events  are 
two  types  of  modern  equipment  available  to  the  club  members.  Many  of  the 
photographs  used  in  the  numerous  school  publications  are  the  work  of  this 
energetic   group. 

With  the  supervision  of  our  capable  faculty  sponsor,  the  club  this  year  took 
individual  pictures  of  the  freshman  class  and  made  several  copies  of  each  for 
school  publicity  purposes.  Other  group  enterprises  for  the  year  include  the 
showing  of  moving  pictures  and  slides  during  club  periods  and  the  sponsoring 
of  outdoor  picnics  and  field  trips.

The  campus  dramatic  organization  at  Clarion  is  known  as  The  College 
Players.  This  club  has  been  continuously  active  at  Clarion  since  its  inception  in 
April,  1920.     It  is  the  oldest  extracurricular  organization  of  the  college. 

Membership  in  The  Players  is  gained  through  try-outs  open  to  all  students. 
During  1949-1950,  the  club  had  a  membership  of  fifty-five.  At  the  regularly 
scheduled  meetings,  various  phases  of  play  production  are  discussed  and  demon- 
strated: make-up,  costuming,  lighting,  properties,  and  acting  techniques.  During 
the  present  year,  several  plays,  student  directed,  have  been  given  in  the  club 
room. 

Publicly  presented  plays  included  Suppressed  Desires,  given  in  November  as 
a  chapel  program,  and  Dear  Ruth,  given  two  evenings  in  March  as  the  major 
annual  production  of  The  Players. 

The  club  has  not  neglected  the  social  side  of  its  activities.  The  highlight  of 
the  year  was  the  Christmas  banquet  and  program.  This  was  a  most  interesting 
and  enjoyable  affair  including  even  a  Santa  Claus  with  a  gift  and  a  good  word 
for  everyone.

M  Sgt.  Frank  Brown  and  Sgt.  Jack  Mullen  introduced  ihe  Reserve  Officers 
Training  Corps  on  the  campus  this  year.  This  course  of  instruction  is  divided  into 
two  sections:  Air  R.  O.  T.  C.  and  Army  R.  O.  T.  C.  under  the  direction  of  Sgt. 
Mullen  and  M  Sgt.  Brown  respectively.  Membership  in  the  Corps  is  mandatory 
for  all  Penn  State  students  and  is  open  to  any  Clarion  student. 


Receiving  their  uniforms  on  January  30,  R.  O.  T.  C.  members  have  added  a 
military  air  to  our  campus  scenes. 

M  Sgt.  Brown  and  Sgt.  Mullen  have  become  a  welcome  addition  to  our 
school.  We  hope  that  we  shall  have  the  pleasure  of  having  them  with  us  for 
some  time  to  come.

The  Future  Teachers  of  America,  Clarion  Chapter,  has  been  organized  to 
provide  professional  background,  professional  growth,  and  professional  leader- 
ship for  all  students  who  expect  to  become  teachers.  This  club,  a  lusty  offspring 
of  the  National  Educational  Association  and  the  Pennsylvania  State  Educational 
Association,  follows  closely  the  purposes  and  principles  of  its  parent-organiza- 
tions. Membership  in  the  F.  T.  A.  at  Clarion  is  open  to  all  students;  however 
in  some  schools  only  upperclassmen  are  admitted. 

Our  chapter's  notable  achievement  for  the  year  has  been  the  extension  of 
services  to  the  high  schools  of  our  area.  Replying  to  our  letters  explaining  the 
ideals  of  F.  T.  A.,  three  schools,  Rural  Valley,  Summerville,  and  Farmington, 
invited  members  from  our  club  to  speak  to  the  senior  classes  about  organization 
of  F.  T.  A.  Clubs  in  their  schools. 

On  November  15,  the  Clarion  Chapter  was  happy  to  entertain  as  guests 
of  the  college,  the  very  active  F.  T.  A.  Club  from  Clearfield  High  School.  After 
the  visitors  had  toured  the  campus  and  visited  a  number  of  classrooms,  the  two 
dubs  met  for  a  joint  business  session.  The  dinner  meeting,  vhich  -followed  at 
seven  o'clock  in  Becht  Hall  dining  room,  was  enlivened  with  music  by  the  Girls' 
Ensemble  and  a  dynamic,  professional  speech  by  Mr.  Dana  Still  of  the  Clarion 
Junior  High  School.

The  Geography  Club  was  founded  for  the  students  who  are  interested  in  the 
subject  of  natural  geographic  formations  and  the  results  evolved  from  man's  use 
of  these  resources.  The  chief  purpose  of  the  club  is  to  study  all  phases  of  geog- 
raphy and  to  instill  in  its  members  a  deeper  appreciation  and  understanding  of 
all  the  basic  activities  which  lead  to  the  improvement  of  our  civilization. 

The  main  achievement  of  this  year's  work  was  the  annual  all-day  trip  to 
Pittsburgh.  Excursions  through  the  local  glass  plant  and  bottling  company  have 
added  much  of  interest  to  the  experience  of  the  members.  The  social  activities 
which  highlighted  the  year  included  a  Christmas  party  and  a  mid-semester  dance. 

Every  member  of  the  club  is  given  the  opportuniiy  to  make  some  contribu- 
tion to  the  success  of  the  Geography  Club.  All  of  the  programs  of  the  regularly 
conducted  meetings  are  planned  for  the  enjoyment  of  the  entire  group.

The  Hostess  Club  is  an  organization  of  freshman  girls  who  are  interested  in 
practical  problems  of  etiquette.  It  aims  to  provide  situations  in  which  its  members 
may  apply  their  knowledge  of  correct  social   usage. 

Discussions  at  meetings  center  around  etiquette  for  dates,  conduct  at  teas, 
introductions,  flower  arrangement,  conversation,  personal  appearance,  and 
many   other   intriguing    problems. 

During  the  year  various  social  affairs  are  planned  and  enacted  by  its  mem- 
bers. Activities  of  the  Yuletide  season  included  the  contribution  of  a  dinner 
to  a  needy  family  and  the  decorations  in  Becht  Hall  lounge.  Additional  activities 
of  these  young  ladies  include  taking  social  usage  tests,  planning  programs  on 
correct  form,  and  preparing  and  serving  a  luncheon.

The  International  Relations  Clubs  of  America  were  founded  in  connection 
with  the  Carnegie  foundation  for  international  peace.  Here  at  Clarion  we  have 
established  a  unique  precedent  by  our  yearly  trip  to  the  United  Nations.  The 
I.  R.  C.  on  our  campus  is  one  of  a  very  small  number  of  college  groups  through- 
out the  United  States  who  have  sent  a  sponsored  group  to  the  UN's  present  home 
at  Lake  Success.  We  are  now  planning  for  our  fourth  trip;  although  this  trip 
will  first  be  open  to  club  members,  it  is  open  to  the  school  as  a  whole. 

Free  discussions  and  panels  form  the  basis  of  our  regular  meetings  every 
other  Tuesday  night.  Devaluation  of  the  British  pound,  atomic  energy  control, 
and  power  of  veto  in  the  UN  have  been  discussed  in  our  informal  gatherings  thus 
far. 

Our  international  Relations  Clubs  are  influential  in  their  work  to  support 
and  organize  efforts  to  solve  problems  of  a  national  and  an  international  nature.

The  Constitution  of  the  National  Federation  of  Newman  Clubs  states  that 
its  purpose  is  to  "deepen  the  spiritual  and  enrich  the  temporal  lives  of  its  mem- 
bers." Here  on  the  campus,  our  chapter  of  N.  F.  N.  C.  fulfills  this  purpose  through- 
out the  year  by  a  well-balanced  program  of  religious,  intellectual,  and  social 
activities.  This  coeducational  organization,  providing  for  the  spiritual  and  cul- 
tural heritage  of  Catholic  students  who  are  attending  non-sectarian  institutions 
of  higher  learning,  is  open  to  all  Catholics  on  the  campus.  The  enrollment  this 
year  totaled  eighty-five  members.  This  group  attended  Holy  Communion  in  a 
body  during  the  Christmas  season,  at  Easter  time,  and  on  the  last  Sunday  in  May. 

In  October,  the  Club  sponsored  a  Hallowe'en  dance  at  the  Catholic  school  for 
all  club  members.  At  the  regular  meetings  held  on  alternate  Wednesday  eve- 
nings, the  program  committees  appointed  by  the  president  of  the  organization, 
have  arranged  and  conducted  discussions  on  mixed  marriages,  lives  of  the  saints, 
and  the  Holy  Year.

The  Outdoor  Club  of  Clarion  State  Teachers  College  aims  to  provide  for  its 
members  such  recreational  and  healthful  activities  as  hiking,  camping,  pic- 
nicking, tobogganning,  bicycling,  and  riding.  It  has  become  the  spon- 
sor of  the  new  Cook  Forest  Nature  Trail.  This  two  and  one  half  mile  trail, 
which  begins  at  the  mouth  of  Henry's  Run  on  the  River  Road,  has  seventy-five 
signs  along  its  course  all  of  which  were  prepared  by  the  club  and  erected  by  the 
Park  authorities.  The  club  is  continuing  the  work  begun  last  year  of  maintaining 
the  attractiveness  of  this  trail  and  of  trying  to  make  it  the  most  interesting  trail 
in  the  Forest.  On  October  23,  the  club  gathered  a  Cook  Forest,  hiked  over  the 
Nature  Trail,  and  inspected  the  condition  of  it. 

Those  who  wish  to  become  members  of  the  Outdoor  Club  make  the  acquaint- 
ance of  those  who  belong,  and  then  apply  for  admission.  The  present  partici- 
pants wish  to  take  in  those  who  are  interested  in  outdoor  activities  and  those  who 
would  take  an  active  part  in  the  meetings  and  trips.  The  club's  membership 
has  been  limited  to  twenty  persons  because  of  the  difficulty  of  transporting  a 
large  group.

The  Press  Club  is  an  organization  of  the  writers,  editors,  and  staff  of  the 
Clarion  Call,  the  college  newspaper.  The  club's  chief  purpose  is  the  publication 
of  the  monthly  newspaper;  its  secondary  aim  is  to  serve  as  a  valuable  experience 
for  prospective  teachers  who  later  may  be  required  to  direct  the  publication  of 
high  school  papers. 

Membership  requirements  demand  a  certain  proficiency  in  writing  which  is 
necessary  in  any  type  of  newspaper  work.  A  short  test  is  given  to  all  prospective 
members  to  judge  their  writing  ability. 

The  regular  meetings  consist  of  discussions  of  the  current  issues  of  The  Call, 
issues  of  other  exchange  papers,  and  the  assignments  and  aims  of  the  coming 
publication.  The  study  of  other  papers  helps  the  editor  and  his  staff  to  improve  the 
quality  of  their  own  paper.  Many  good  articles  are  received  from  the  journalism 
class,  and  that  class  this  year  wrote  and  published  the  Christmas  issue  of  the 
Clarion   Call. 

The  social  activities  for  the  club  include  the  annual  picnic  at  Cook  Forest 
and  a  Christmas  party.

The  newly  organized  social  committee  accepts  the  responsibility  for  pro- 
viding a  well-balanced  social  program  for  all  students.  The  committee  mem- 
bers are  chosen  by  election  and  represent  all  branches  of  the  student  body.  This 
year  the  balloting  resulted  in  the  choice  of  these  representatives:  Paul  Weibel,  sen- 
ior class;  Patricia  Carr,  junior  class;  Patricia  Skinner,  sophomore  class;  Emerson 
Perseghetti,  freshman  class;  Phyllis  Stewart,  intersorority;  Edward  Brinkley,  inter- 
fraternity;  and  Jeanne  Fink,  day  room  students.  The  faculty  sponsors,  Miss 
Stoke,  Miss  Spaller,  Dr.  Slick,  and  chairman,  Dr.  Gill,  have  neither  spared  time 
nor  effort  in  their  eagerness  to  meet  every  student's  social  needs. 

Featuring  record  dances,  twilight  dances,  and  square  dances,  the  social  com- 
mittee won  an  enthusiastic  following  among  students  and  faculty.  The  evening 
dances  sponsored  by  the  combined  efforts  of  sororities,  fraternities,  and  the  social 
committee  were  successful  and  enjoyable  affairs.  The  class  dances,  planned  and 
financed  by  the  individual  classes  under  the  guidance  of  the  class  advisors,  were 
in  part  the  responsibility  of  the  social  committee. 

The  extended  current  social  program  has  proved  very  satisfactory,  and  the 
students  wish  to  thank  Dr.  Gill  and  his  committee  for  this  year's  pleasures,  as  they 
anticipate  a  greater  expansion  of  activities  in  the  immediate  future.

The  Sportsmen's  Club,  organized  last  year  is  exemplifying  its  rapid  matura- 
tion by  the  well  balanced  program  of  educational  and  recreational  activities 
A<hich  it  sponsors  this  year. 

This  club  aims  to  create  and  maintain  a  sportsman-like  attitude  of  conduct 
among  its  members,  and  to  extend  this  influence  to  all  students  on  our  campus. 
The  immediate  aim  of  this  organization  is  to  establish  a  rifle  range  in  the  base- 
ment of  Davis  Hall.  This  program  is  well  underway  and  should  be  completed 
in  the  near  future. 

The  club's  bowling  team  is  high  on  the  list  of  competitors  and  is  expected  to 
reach  first  place  before  the  end  of  the  second  semester.  High  individual  scorers 
in  this  ball  rolling  sport  are  Ed  Lloyd  with  a  243  mark  and  Dave  Trembach  with 
a  score  of  236. 

One  very  enjoyable  social  event  was  an  outdoor  picnic  at  Cook  Forest.  At 
this  gala  affair  the  boys  of  "727"  Davis  Hall  provided  appreciated  entertainment. 
A  seasonal  movie  on  deer  hunting  was  shown  to  round  out  the  program.  Future 
plans  include  a  movie  on  trout  fishing  and  other  social  events. 

Interested  students  must  be  invited  and  accepted  by  the  group  before  being 
admitted  to  membership  in  the  Sportsmen's  Club.

The  many  carefully  planned  meetings  of  this  organization  feature  programs 
of  a  religious,  social,  and  educational  nature.  Our  first  program,  a  welcome 
for  freshman  students,  was  followed  by  panel  discussions,  talent  programs, 
parties,  speakers,  and  Christmas  caroling.  Our  guest  speakers  for  the  year  have 
been  Rev.  George  Braun,  Rev.  Roy  Blair,  Rev.  Everett  Smail,  Rev.  OfFenhauser,  and 
Mr.  Dana  Still.  During  the  first  semester,  the  S.  C.  A.  and  the  Newman  Club  made 
a  substantial  contribution  to  the  World  Students  Service  Fund.  This  year  the 
S.  C.  A.  supplants  the  Y.  W.  C.  A.  and  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  of  other  years.  The  in- 
creased interest  shown  in  the  new  organization  is  heartening  to  its  members  and 
is,  perhaps,  indicative  of  a  bright  and  useful  future. 

This  organization,  unlike  many  clubs  on  the  campus,  holds  regular  weekly 
meetings.      It  is  an  accredited  activity.

The  Student  Senate  consists  of  twelve  members  representing  dormitory,  town, 
and  commuting  students.  The  Senate  meets  bi-monthly  with  Dr.  Chandler  acting 
in  an  advisory  capacity. 

The  function  of  the  Senate  is  to  act  as  a  governing  board  to  disperse  money 
which  comes  from  tuition,  books,  and  revenue  from  athletic  events.  These  funds 
belong  to  the  Students'  Cooperative  Association  and  are  equitably  distributed  to 
the  numerous  campus  organizations. 

The  Student  Senates  of  the  various  State  Teachers  Colleges  hold  conferences 
each  year.  These  conferences  make  it  possible  for  each  college  Senate  to  have 
the  benefit  of  the  knowledge  and  experience  of  the  others.  This  year's  confer- 
ence was  held  at  Shippensburg  State  Teachers  College  in  October.  Phyllis  Stewart 
and  Leonard  Marinaccio  were  Clarion  representatives. 

For  the  past  few  years  the  college  has  purchased  for  Senate  members  keys 
symbolical  of  their  membership  in  the  Student  Senate.

One  of  the  newer  clubs  at  Clarion,  organized  in  1947,  the  Royal  Order  of 
Waiters,  has  carried  on  in  recent  years  with  outstanding  success.  Not  only  are 
the  dining  room  waiters  eligible  for  membership,  but  integrated  within  the  club 
are  students  who  work  in  the  dish  room  and  kitchen.  Membership  is  strictly 
on  a  voluntary  basis. 

The  purposes  of  the  club  are  two-fold:  to  provide  efficient  and  effective 
service  as  dining  room  workers,  and  to  strengthen  the  bonds  of  friendship  of 
members  through  social  and  recreational  activities. 

At  the  bi-monthly  meetings  of  this  organization,  problems  are  brought  before 
the  group  and  solutions  are  sought.  A  part  of  each  meeting  is  devoted  to  enter- 
tainment, usually  furnished  by  the  talented  members  of  the  club. 

The  highlights  of  the  R.  O.  W.  recreational  activities  are  a  combination  dance 
and  party  held  in  connection  with  a  holiday,  such  as  Christmas  or  St.  Valentine's 
Day,  and  the  picnic  held  at  Cook  Forest  in  the  spring  of  the  year. 

Since  its  beginning  and  organization,  under  the  very  capable  sponsorship 
of  Mr.  Stanley  Lore,  the  R.  O.  W.  has  made  impressive  strides  toward  becoming 
one  of  the  most  popular  clubs  at  Clarion  State  Teachers  College. 

"All   good    things   come   to   those   who   wait."

Two  members  from  each  sorority  comprise  the  Pan-Hellenic  Council.  Estab- 
lishing and  keeping  good  relations  among  the  sororities  are  two  of  its  main 
purposes. 

Early  in  the  school  year  a  Pan-Hellenic  reception  is  held  to  introduce  to  the 
freshmen  women  the  five  social  sororities  and  their  respective  members. 

Annually  a  spring  dance  is  featured  by  the  Pan-Hellenic  Council.  Last  year 
the  dance  was  attractively  developed  around  a  Greek  motif  with  symbols  of  Greek 
mythology  as  decorations  for  the  gymnasium.  Music  was  provided  by  Bleach 
Perontoni  and  his  orchestra. 

The  yearly  banquet,  to  which  each  sorority  contributes  favors  and  a  portion 
of  the  entertainment,  culminates  the  Pan-Hellenic's  obligations  for  the  year. 

In  addition  to  its  social  responsibilities,  the  Pan-Hellenic  Council  makes  a 
practical  contribution  to  the  expansion  of  sorority  life  on  the  campus  by  super- 
vising money-raising  projects  of  different  types.

In  November,  Polly  Stout,  one  of  our  national  officers,  visited  Clarion  and 
rated  the  Alpha  Zeta  Chapter.  During  Polly's  entire  visit  our  campus  fairly 
hummed  with  activity.  Memorable  out-of-town  events  include  Ruth  McElhattan's 
tea  served  in  her  beautiful  home  in  Knox,  and  the  special  Delta  Sig  dinner  and 
initiation  at  Shippenville.  At  this  initiation  we  gained  four  splendid  girls:  Donna 
Dougherty,  Mary  Lou  Doverspike,   Betty   Hay,  and  Gail  Wagner. 

The  Delts  were  very  proud  and  happy  when  one  of  their  girls,  Lois  George 
was  chosen  as  Clarion's  first  Homecoming  Queen. 

Money-raising  projects  for  the  year  have  included  rummage  sales  in  town 
and  food  sales  in  Becht  Hall.  In  the  spring  we  shall  spend  our  usual  celebrative 
weekend  at  Cook  Forest.  In  August  some  members,  as  delegates,  will  attend 
the  National  Conclave  in  Chicago. 

Finally  but  importantly,  we  add  that  our  sponsor,  Miss  Ethel  Spaller,  in  her 
enthusiasm,  interest,  and  loyalty,  epitomizes  all  that  is  best  in  Delta  Sigma  Epsilon. 
To  her  efforts  we  owe  our  success;  for  efforts  and  loyalty  we  express  our  gratitude 
and  devotion.

Lambda  Chi  Delta,  a  local  group,  is  one  of  the  five  sororities  on  the  campus. 
The  aim  of  this  sorority  is  to  provide  congenial  friends,  social  activities,  and  in- 
tellectual stimulation  for  all  its  sisters.  To  qualify  for  membership  a  girl  must 
exhibit  desirable  personal  traits  of  character  as  well  as  a  record  of  a  high  level 
of  academic  achievement.  Lambda  Chi  sisters  may  obtain  sweaters  and  hats 
in  the  sorority  colors  of  coral  and  green;  emblematic  pins  may  also  be  purchased 
by  members  who  desire  them. 

This  socially-minded  group  engages  in  many  activities  throughout  the  year. 
Among  the  memorable  events  of  this  year,  we  recall  the  Pan-Hellenic  dance, 
Pan-Hellenic  banquet,  a  week  end  trip  to  Cook  Forest,  and  numerous  parties, 
lectures,  and  teas. 

Mrs.  Graff  is  our  efficient  and  enthusiastic  sponsor.  Her  advice  was  par- 
ticularly helpful  in  the  matter  of  selecting  pledges  and  in  the  planning  of  the  rush 
party  held  at  the  Onized  Club  early  in  November.  The  setting  for  the  party  rep- 
resented a  modern  night  club  with  its  typical  entertainment  and  formal  dinner. 
Active  members  assisted  by  visiting  alumnae  furnished  the  appropriate  and 
amusing  entertainment.

The  Sigma  Delta  Phi  Sorority,  the  oldest  sorority  on  the  campus,  began  its 
twentieth  year  with  the  annual  week  end  party  at  Cook  Forest.  As  a  result  of  our 
rush  party,  which  revolved  around  the  night  clubbing  theme,  this  sorority  pledged 
ten  new  members:  Elaine  Bove,  June  Campbell,  Evelyn  Dunham,  Edna  Mae 
Keogh,  Joanne  Phillips,  Louise  Turner,  Irene  Vobrak,  Evelyn  Webster,  Naomi 
Williams,  and  Kitty  Zerbe. 

The  purpose  of  the  organization  is  best  expressed  in  the  motto  "Be  kind,  be 
brave,  be  true  not  only  to  thyself,  but  to  others."  Tangible  evidence  of  this  ideal 
is  emphasized  by  the  annual  Christmas  basket  prepared  for  a  needy  family.  This 
gift  includes  food  for  the  main  meal,  candy,  and  presents  to  make  someone's 
Yuletide  season  happier.  Another  good  deed  is  the  preparation  of  Christmas 
cards  scrap  books  for  children  in  the  hospital.  The  social  event  of  this  time  of 
year  was  a  party  given  by  the  sponsors,  Miss  Bertha  Nair  and  Mrs.  John  Bower, 
and   a    prominent   patroness.   Mrs.    George   Lewis,   to   the   appreciative    members. 

Other  social  activities  include  the  Pan-Hellenic  Dance,  record  dances,  inter- 
sorority  volleyball  games  and  other  informal  get-togethers.

Alpha  Pi  Chapter  of  Sigma  Sigma  Sigma,  national  social  sorority,  was 
organized  on  the  Clarion  campus  fifteen  years  ago.  The  purposes  of  this  organi- 
zation center  mainly  in  the  establishment  of  lasting  friendly  relationships  among 
its  sisters  and  in  the  development  of  high  ideals  of  character  in  all  its  members. 

Activities  of  the  year  began  with  Sigma  Trailways,  a  three  day  summer 
conference  held  at  Camp  Strawderman,  Virginia.  Representatives  of  Alpha  Pi 
Chapter  were  Patsy  Skinner,  Helen  Toth,  and  Freda  Wilson.  After  meeting  and 
renewing  old  friendships  with  national  officers  and  fellow  sisters,  our  girls  came 
back  just  bursting  with  ideas  for  the  coming  year's  activities. 

Our  first  outing  was  a  picnic  held  for  us  by  our  patronesses,  Mrs.  Kuhner, 
Mrs.  Long,  and  Mrs.  Riley,  at  the  Riley  home.  Other  activities  of  the  year  con- 
sisted of  a  weiner  roast,  participation  in  intersorority  volleyball,  a  Christmas 
party,  Founder's  Day  banquet,  and  Senior  send-off.  Perhaps  the  most  outstand- 
ing event  of  the  year  was  our  rush  party,  built  around  the  theme  of  a  wedding 
and  a  reception,  in  which  our  two  capable  sponsors,  Miss  Gamble  and  Miss 
Banner,  took  an  active  part.

The  Theta  Alpha  Lambda  Sorority,  a  local  organization  on  Clarion  Campus, 
has  as  its  purpose  "promoting  and  fostering  fellowship  and  good  will  among  its 
members." 

Borrowing  from  the  famous  quotation  taken  from  the  pen  of  Emerson,  the 
philosopher,  the  Thetas  set  forth  the  motto  "To  thine  ownself  be  true"  in  their 
attempt  to  fulfill  self-realization. 

The  highlight  of  Theta's  social  activities  came  on  Tuesday,  November  15,  at 
which  time  a  rush  party  was  held  with  the  theme  centering  around  Thanksgiving. 
The  social  rooms  of  the  local  Methodist  Church  were  appropriately  decorated 
for  this  festive  occasion.  A  lively  hour  of  games  and  group  singing  followed  by 
refreshments  completed  the  program.  As  a  result  of  this  rush  party  Theta  Alpha 
Lambda  received  three  new  members:  Gertrude  Clark,  Thalia  Schohn,  and  Cecelia 
Varrato. 

The  new  members,  a  new  sorority  banner,  and  sorority  hats  and  sweaters 
represent  our  accomplishments  for  the  year.

The  Inter-fraternity  Council  is  the  governing  body  of  the  activities  of  the 
three  social  fraternities  on  the  campus.  The  principal  aim  of  this  organization 
is  the  promotion  of  social  contacts  and  well  being  among  all  fraternity  brothers. 
Following  the  articles  and  by-laws  of  its  constitution,  the  Interfrat  Council  has  suc- 
cessfully stimulated  the  cooperation  and  friendliness  among  its  member  organi- 
zations. 

Membership  in  this  Council  is  open  to  two  members  of  each  fraternity.  The 
men  who  belong  are  listed  as  follows:  Alpha  Gamma  Phi,  Frank  Pecora  and 
Tony  Mason;  Alpha  Phi  Alpha,  Donald  Nogar  and  Charles  Krepps;  and  Sigma 
Tau  Gamma,  Paul  Weibel  and  Leonard  Marinaccio. 

The  major  social  event  of  the  year  is  the  Inter-fraternity  Dance  which  is 
sponsored  by  Interfrat.  This  dance  is  an  impressive,  formal  affair,  and  its 
splendor  is  awaited  eagerly  by  all. 

The  Inter-fraternity  Council  also  controls  such  business  as  rush  parties  and 
silent  week.  Its  rules  and  regulations  are  the  determining  factors  of  these  im- 
portant events.

Alpha  Gamma  Phi,  the  largest  fraternal  organization  on  the  campus,  has 
as  its  purpose  the  promotion  of  good  fellowship  and  excellent  sportsmanship 
among  member  brothers.  Membership  in  this  fraternity  is  based  upon  three 
qualities:    scholastic  ability,   personality,  and   character. 

On  the  evening  of  January  30,  the  Alpha  Gammas  held  their  annual  rush 
party  in  Harvey  Gymnasium.  The  entertainment  at  this  gathering  took  the  form 
of  several  movies,  a  song  by  Mike  Helmintoller,  a  tap  dancing  number  by  Sal 
Russo,  and  some  humorous  stories  told  by  Dr.  Peirce. 

Other  social  activities  included  the  organizing  of  a  frat  basketball  team  and 
the  planning  of  an  autumn  stag  party. 

This  organization  at  present  is  the  proud  possessor  of  the  Inter-fraternity 
Basketball  Trophy.  This  award  was  given  to  Alpha  Gamma  Phi  as  a  token  of  the 
best  basketball  team  among  the  three  social  fraternities  of  Clarion  State  Teachers 
College.

Alpha  Phi  Alpha,  a  social  fraternity  indigenous  to  this  campus,  has  been 
in  existence  for  over  twenty  years.  During  this  time  the  members  of  the  fraternity 
have  been  conspicuous  in  their  leadership  in  student  activities  on  the  campus 
and   in   their  high  scholastic  achievement. 

One  of  the  primary  aims  of  the  fraternity  is  to  aid  in  the  development  of 
the  moral,  ethical,  and  social  principles,  of  the  members  so  as  to  prepare  them 
for  group  living.  The  motto  of  the  fraternity,  Socrates'  "Te  Scito",  is  the  key. 
The  members  believe  that  in  knowing  themselves,  they  may  better  know  and  be 
tolerant  of  others. 

Throughout  the  course  of  a  school  year  the  activities  of  the  fraternity  are 
of  a  widely  diversified  nature;  dances,  movies,  banquets,  and  discussions  are  all 
an  integral  part  of  the  fraternity.  The  members  have  been  noted  for  their  whole- 
hearted participation  in  student  affairs  on  the  campus  and  have  thus  served  as  an 
example  for  the  student  body. 

During  this  year,  as  in  past  years,  and  it  is  hoped  in  future  years,  A  8  A 
activities  have  been  based  on  three  things:  participation,  cooperation,  and 
interest.

The  Alpha  Zeta  Chapter  of  the  Sigma  Tau  Gamma  Fraternity,  the  only  na- 
tional social  fraternal  organization  on  the  campus,  began  this  year's  round  of 
social  activities  with  an  informal  dance.  Snack  parties,  pledge  parties,  and  the 
formal  pledge  banquet  were  important  events  sponsored  by  this  fraternity.  The 
traditional  inter-fraternity  dance  marked  the  climax  of  Sigma  Tau's  social 
calendar. 

There  are  no  established  requirements  for  membership  in  this  fraternity. 
New  members  are  chosen  by  the  local  chapter  with  the  consent  of  the  province 
conclave. 

This  year  the  annual  province  conclave  was  held  in  Buffalo,  New  York. 
At  this  meeting  our  representatives  met  with  brothers  from  Indiana  State  Teachers 
College;  Kent  University,  Ohio;  Fairmont  State  Teachers  College,  West  Virginia; 
and  Buffalo  State  Teachers  College  to  discuss  common  problems  and  to  make 
plans  for  the  future  development  of  a  greater  Sigma  Tau  Gamma.

Alpha  Psi  Omega,  a  national  honorary  dramatic  fraternity,  was  first  brought 
to  Clarion's  campus  during  the  year  of  1936.  This  honorary  fraternity,  the 
largest  in  the  world,  has  over  one  hundred  chapters  in  the  colleges  and  univer- 
sities of  the  United  States  and  Canada.  It  was  mainly  through  the  efforts  of  Miss 
Marie  Marwick  that  this  splendid  organization  was  first  introduced  on  Clarion 
campus. 

Membership  in  this  illustrious  fraternity  is  composed  of  those  College  Players 
who  have  won  distinction  through  exceptional  participation  in  some  phase  of 
dramatic  production,  such  as,  acting,  stage  managing,  and  costuming.  Member- 
ship in  the  Alpha   Psi  Omega   is  the  coveted  goal  of  every  College  Player. 

Because  of  the  rigid  entrance  requirements  and  the  fact  that  Alpha  Psi 
Omega  is  a  member  of  the  Association  of  Speech  Arts  Fraternities  of  America, 
membership  in  this  fraternity  is  an  esteemed  and  commendable  honor.

The  students  of  Clarion  State  Teachers  College  who  are  members  of  "Who's 
Who  Among  Students  in  American  Colleges  and  Universities"  were  chosen  by  a 
faculty  committee.  Selection  of  each  student  is  based  on  his  scholarship  and  his 
worthy  participation  in  the  campus  activities  fostered   by  our  college. 

This  honor  serves  as  a  recommendation  for  these  deserving  students  to  the 
business  world  and  offers  a  placement  service  for  them  when  they  graduate. 

Each  year  the  biographies  of  the  selected  students  appear  in  the  publication 
entitled,  "Who's  Who  Among    Students   in   American   Colleges   and    Universities." 


The  attainment  of  membership  in  "Who's  Who"  is  a  fine  achievement  for 
any  student,  and  we  congratulate  the  following  new  members  chosen  from  our 
college  this  year:  Thomas  Barratt,  John  Bitner,  William  Mahoney,  Barbara 
McMichael,  Phyllis  Slaugenhaupt,  John  Taylor,  James  Irwin,  Harry  Kincaid,  John 
Mellon,  Jennifer  Messier,  and  Eleanor  Rock.

For  the  first  time  in  the  history  of  Clarion  State  Teachers  College  the  Home- 
coming Celebration  was  presided  over  by  a  Queen. 

The  candidates  were  nominated  by  the  football  team  and  voted  on  by  the 
entire  student  body.  Frank  Lignelli,  captain  of  the  1949  Eagles,  crowned  our 
first  queen  during  the  intermission  at  the  Homecoming  Dance.  The  girl  who  was 
selected  by  the  student  body  as  being  the  one  which  they  felt  best  qualified  to 
represent  our  college  as  Homecoming  Queen  was  a  senior  girl,  very  well  known 
on  the  campus  and  in  the  town  itself,  Miss  Lois  George. 

A  Court  of  attendants,  composed  of  Jennifer  Messier,  Jane  Lemp,  Lee  Grant, 
Phyllis  Stewart,  Lena  Staley,  Shirley  Marts,  Joan  Gifford,  and  Ann  Bastress,  all  of 
whom  vied  with  Lois  for  the  title  of  "Queen  of  Clarion  State  Teachers  College 
Homecoming",  added  charm  and  beauty  to  the  ceremony.

The  great  state  of  Pennsylvania  is  famous  for  many 
things.  Chief  among  them  are  its  many  excellent  educa- 
tional institutions  and  its  great  industries  which  supply  pro- 
ducts for  markets  in  all  parts  of  the  world. 

Clarion  State  Teachers  College  and  Owens-Illinois 
Glass  Company,  both  located  in  this  thriving  community, 
are  typical  examples. 

Both  have  been  here  for  many  years  and  each  has 
become  an  integral  and  important  part  of  this  city  and 
state,  each  contributing  in  its  way  to  Clarion's  success,  pros- 
perity and  well-being. 

We  at  Owens-Illinois  always  have  enjoyed  having  the 
college  as  a  neighbor,  and,  as  one  neighbor  to  another  we 
congratulate  the  college  on  the  completion  of  another  suc- 
cessful school  year.     Keep  up  the  good  work.
